The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records the donation of "ecclesiam Beatæ Mariæ de Boytone, ecclesiam Sancti Georgii de Orchestone cum capella Sancti Andreæ de Wyneterborne" made "tempore Hamelini abbatis" [abbot from 1148 to 1179] made by "Helias Boy Gyffard", for the soul of "Bertæ uxoris suus", later confirmed by "Walterus Giffard filius Heliæ…tempore Hamelini abbatis"[1207].
